No thanks. 10MM CB made the last one worthwhile. Absent that, not worth bothering with a weekend of awful selfish-play driven solo queue.

What an excellent challenge, except, as Lily suggests, I had other plans this weekend.

Too bad the garage aint getting painted til November....

Change the scoring system, make it about Match Score at end of round or something. Include in the Narc & Tagging etc etc.

I just had a kick-ass match with me warhawk and i am ranked 1. Is it better to stop playing now? Because if i play more matches now my score will drop right?

[Nyuuu]

While I am not even sure if I will participate I can clearly see why they are doing it and want to aplaud that cause.

Stake the mechs against each other to find out/reconfirm their place for the upcoming quirks.

Quick...Get a screenshot to save for posterity. You'll always be #1 then.

Yeah...except this will not serve that purpose at all. This type of event, as previously mentioned, rewards bad/selfish play. This event will in no manner shape or form allow them to see anything other than who the biggest jerks or luckiest players are. Did you even play in the last weekend of pugfail? Quickly tag as many enemies as you can with a single laser then go hide until things are about to die. No one will shoot anything unless they think they'll get the kill, meaning there's a lot of stalling and crappy play. No thank you.

What is wrong? So few Timber Wolfs!

[Dawnstealer]

Well this will be easy for that one guy who pilots the Quickdraw.

[Onmyoudo]

People playing twice as many Stormcrows as anything else. Huh.

[Bront]

Would have liked the secondary reward, but this could be fun.

[DarthPeanut]

Opted in... doubt I will really put in the time though. Although I said that last time though to when going for the cbills but ended up getting on the heavy IS board anyways.

How did this get out? I like only told one person this. I don't even mean my previous ranking in the Quickdraw's debut...

[Walluh]

Throwing myself into the Irate Canine bracket. Let's rock.

Well in that case it will still show which mechs are too terrible to even tag enemies with their one laser....

And the thing not working about your tactic is that damage is a very important factor as well.
A 6 kills 6 assists 300 dmg game gets you less score than a 2 kills 10 assists 1000 damage game.
Not even counting for hiding all the time decreasing your chance of damaging every hostile at least once......

Well anyways, one hour in and 4 mechs with just one person having played it in that time.

Didn't think some mechs were THAT hated....
